  1. Hang on, the Devon sides have had years to get their act together and provide a decent outlet for local lads. I can not name many boys who have come out of their academies who have gone on to great things. There is a big slice of England served by under achieving clubs that probably needs a good provider to go in a help nurture the local talent. Leaving the Devon clubs to their own devices hasn't worked so maybe a bit of competition may make them up their game. They will also benefit from the lads that just fall short. I say this as a son of an Argyle fan who had a soft spot for the club.
  2. RIP OSM, god I loved that man.
  3. The reason doesn't make sense however I could be inclined to believe there was a Pooch-centered reason for not taking the cups seriously. I really do love the 'we wouldn't have beaten the top teams anyway' excuse for wanting to concentrate on the catching the top teams in the league.
  4. Douse the burning torch and put your pitch forks down. He said when he found out, he didn't say who told him. It could have been Southampton that told him of Uniteds interest and then Shaw instructed his agent to talk to us.
  5. Victor Wanyama. But I suppose your post is just a dig at the club because of course the players didn't leave for more money, bigger clubs and CL football, no they left because Southampton are the next Newport County.
  6. So you should be old enough that ups and downs are all part of supporting a teams and you alos should know that no matter how bad it seems we always bounce back OK, afterall we have had very little bad luck since the 50's. The comment about Chelase is obvious, you seem to want the Liebhers to just spend and spend. Well if you don't like it get some money together and buy the club and do it your way.
  7. David Hirst - Wednesday to Southampton.
  8. How is that tapping up, openly declaring that you are targeting a player whilst the transfer window is open surely is fair game nowadays. It's not like meeting said players agent in a hotel and agreeing a fee before even speaking to said players club. CB Fry I think you need to keep your outrage in check son.
  9. The Adidas handout isn't free money, Adidas will want it back through the price of the gear. So the stuff ends up being a similar price, I know that the Adidas stuff last year was just as expensive.
  10. If you are coming from Kent you can do it by Ashford to Lewis and change for a Falmer train.
  11. Dwarfed by Man Us
  12. It looks like I have just regurgitated a fact without stress testing it. Maybe it was wrong or maybe it was the Dell Days (not the poster, although he does talk a load of nonsense). The point remains our match revenue dwarfs Man Us, let alone our respected goal revenues.
  13. Maybe the OP should change the word 'ineptitude' to 'reality'. Man U get more in programme sales then we do in ticket sales.
  14. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2690750/Premier-League-transfer-targets-Now-World-Cup-club-chasing.html Doesn't make good reading.
  15. This was always going to happen, we were always going to sign what would be perceived as good signings. A lesson for all, no.
  16. Of course you can claim that one manager is better than another manager if you think their record is better. Whether RK does it at Southampton remains to be seen, but the better the manager you employ the smaller the risk of failure, but a risk remains.
  17. Well if you can't work it our then you have a weak understanding of human nature. Anyway being an integral part of one team and then being peripheral part of a better team can happen you know.
  18. Shut up you si
  19. Apart from being blue and round necked they are different lol
  20. I see we are plundering the east end for our defensive targets. Whilst I don't mind going for an ex West Ham player but a geezer from Orient ffs, we are run by amateurs.
  21. Francis Benali Andy Townsend Fabrice Fernandes
  22. The thanking RL stuff is ****. It's utterly weak. **** the L's
  23. Is he the **** in purple trying to get the attention of the man u directors.
